Slamboree (1996) was the fourth Slamboree professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The event took place on May 19, 1996 from the Riverside Centroplex in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Every non-title match was a Lethal Lottery match with wrestlers being randomly paired together, and the winning teams would advance to the Battlebowl battle royal.
"Hardwork" Bobby Walker was originally scheduled to compete in the "Lethal Lottery", but was replaced by Diamond Dallas Page due to an injury. At the end of the night Page was crowned "Lord of the Ring" and earned a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash.
The title shot was revoked the next night on Nitro, after footage shown that Page was thrown over the top rope by The Barbarian and one foot touched the floor.
